1At Sāvatthī.

Standing to one side, the god Kassapa recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

2“Suppose a mendicant is a meditator, freed in mind.
If they want to reach the heart’s peace,
having known the arising and passing of the world,
healthy-minded, independent, that is their reward.”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho kassapo devaputto bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi: 

2"Bhikkhu siyā jhāyī vimuttacitto,
Ākaṅkhe ce hadayassānupattiṁ;
Lokassa ñatvā udayabbayañca,
Sucetaso anissito tadānisaṁso"ti.
